After 10 years, this still gives me goosebumps esp. seeing these Cardinals reunite. It was the BEST FALL experience memory since I came here in St. Louis in 2002 from the Philippines.
And to think that the 2021 team is doing the same thing in September as the 2011 team did 11 game win streak to get wild card a big win streak to come from behind like 2011
Happy Anniversary. It was an awesome moment that almost everyone from the 2011 World Series came to the reunion with the exception of Albert Pujols, Lance Lynn, Tony La Russa and probably I’m forgetting a few others. La Russa is the manager of the White Sox and Lynn is playing with the White Sox and Pujols with the Dodgers so they were unable to come the reunion. Happy to see everyone back the hero David Freese. Also, I was glad to see Chris Carpenter, Matt Holiday, Allen Craig, Rafael Furcal, Jon Jay, Jake Westbrook, Jaime García, Lance Berkman, Jason Motte, Kyle Lohse, Edwin Jackson and the list goes on. In the game, Adam Wainwright pitched well and in the 8th inning O’Neill gave the lead to the Cards when he hit a 2 run home run. It was nice that the Cardinals won in this special night.
@@nicholausbell2749 ...I remember it well the night Mr Freese and not Batman was the hero ..lol Sorry I couldn't resist that pun.. But seriously that was the best WS in my life time and I'm 47
I was in attendance for games 2, 6, and 7, and it is the memory of a lifetime following a very difficult year for me personally. I still get excited watching the clips, and I still get emotional thinking about what led to me even being there. This is beautiful!
Gerald Laird jumping around and celebrating during the walk off of game 6 was one of the best things ever!!! He was so pumped!!! He was like a little kid....
I have to say, even as a Cubs fan, that 2011 Cardinals team was purely magical. Really fun watching that team play. Good luck to you guys again in 2022 as you chase another World Series!
Astros fan here, I remember watching this series and delighted the cardinals won because I hate the rangers. I was living in the dallas area at the time and all my friends were so sad and I just loved rubbing it in their faces. 😁
Hearing the end of game 6 highlights is as exciting as it just happened. I recently read the LaRussa book One Last Strike again and there were also amazing things that happened in the stretch run that I had forgotten. They were down to one last strike numerous times. Born in 1953 my Cards memories start in 1960 or so and can only compare this team with the 1964 Cards. Of course, all the Cards winners I have seen were exciting.
Wish I could of made it down to celebrate, (legs a mess) wow 10yrs. So many great events and players who made it all happen. Every 1 was key. Definitely a wonderful year as 2006 was as well. Glad to see the boys home and to see a thriller of a game that night. A 3-2 comeback win..love you guys..jr
I saw a lot of these guys as Springfield (AA) Cardinals! Garcia, Jay, Carpenter, Motte (as a catcher!). Boggs, Rosenthal, and some kid named Freese. Their farm system back then was terrific.
Great memories, for sure. Loved that run. But man they really brought it with the dad bods. And half the guys hobbled like it was their 4th knee replacement. Just a decade ago they were among the best baseball players in the world.
Haha not even close... that belongs to the 04 Boston red sox who came back from 3-0 against the Yankees and went on to SWEEP the st Louis cardinals wooooooooo!!
@@thee_morpheus 😄 sweeps are boring when your team is the one getting owned, sox went on to win 8 straight playoff games after being down 3 games .. its the greatest comeback in baseball history, stay bitter about those 2 WS Ls handed to your cards
Two members of the 2011 World Series champs were unable to attend because of commitments elsewhere in the league, manager Tony LaRussa (number 10, currently with the White Sox) and super-slugger Albert Pujols (number 5, currently with the Dodgers)

In 2012 I ran into David and his gf in the Sports Authority parking lot off 40/64 in Brentwood and he was definitely driving a nice car but it wasn’t that Chevy haha
The boys are on a 14 win streak. This was a dual purpose event. It was to commentate that great team, and light a fire under the current team’s ass. Let go RedBirds!!!
As an Astro fan, I'll tell ya, losing by 1 strike twice isn't easy in Dallas/Fort Worth, but being called cheaters everywhere you go in Houston also isn't easy. The Texas MLB teams have it hard right now, but I can tell your pain. :(
@@DesertHighIron it would be awesome if the front office thought along those lines and went the extra mile just to remind the players of how far they could go. I'm not a fan and still got hyped just watching this
@@joseurena3640 Oh i’m not a fan of the padres either. In fact i’m a dodgers fan. I was laughing originally at the thought they might not make the playoffs, but now it’s honestly sad and I feel bad for them. Best friend is a Padres fan and it would’ve been so fun having him over to watch the playoffs. Maybe next year for them.
@@DesertHighIron Nobody expected the Giants to be a top seeded contender this year. It sucks for the Padres that they were tested so hard this early into their window.
Got to know Adron somewhat when he was in Memphis. Super nice guy that often nodded, waved or talked to my wife and I after games. Few years later he showed up in a Cubs uniform, we gave him hell, he played along. Wish him luck from Memphis.
He was one of my favorites! His mad dash from first base to beat the Cubs in that final week of the season was such a crucial part of that wild card race. I got to go on the field before a game in 2012, and he came over and talked to me for a little bit and signed my shirt. He was really humble when I complimented him on his awesome postseason. I actually saw him play one more time at a minor league game in Toledo in 2018 when he was with the Iron Pigs. Loved his attitude and the way he played the game. Such a genuine and awesome dude. Will always be thankful for all the memories from that year. Say hi to him for me!!!
Freeze was lucky he didn't strike out to end the series. A perfect pitch on the outside corner even MCCARVER said the ump missed the pitch to end the series. The RANGERS were a better team
David Freese's recongition is so underwhelming here. HE HELPED THEM THE MOST AND THEY CLAPPED...I would of chanted his name. These fans probably never watched the 2011 WS. Shame on you all

As a neutral fan…it made me angry.
You guys have enough championships. Texas still has 0.
This is what makes being a Cardinal fan so special.

Cardinal Nation has the best fans in MLB...and I am a cubs fan. thanks for posting
And how do you come to that conclusion? Do u know all 30 mlb teams fans?
Love that the Cards r back in the playoff hunt. In the beginning of the season I predicted they would be. I have nothing but respect for The Cards.

CHILLS!!
They just won’t go away greatest comeback ever next to my 2002 angels both of them game 6s!
What a good year Cardinals won the World series and my son was born in 2011
Cardinal Nation. Nothing else to say. Much love.
What a special team that was and what a ride this 2021 is giving us!!! Go cards!!!!!
I could go on and on about their 2011 postseason run but im just gonna sit back and smile

2005 White Sox and 1998 Yankees were better. They each only had 1 loss.

I fell asleep at the end of game six still can’t believe I missed that 😭
Let’s fucking go!!!! Tyler O’Neil came up big last night
This is so cool! What a team and what a series!
The St Louis Cardinals Great players and the a absolutely the best fans in baseball
Do you love when past players come back home? I also like how the Padres are taking it in.
How incredibly fitting too that on the day of this reunion, we ended up winning the game thanks to a borderline miraculous comeback.
It was such a cool night
Goosebumps...
Seeing Chris Carpenter made me so happy. He was a fucking bulldog, and a blast to watch. I wish he could have stayed healthy.
This was the series where I started to loathe the St Louis Cardinals. I'm a Brewers fan and that loss in game 7 still hurts
Shame LaRussa and Albert couldn't be there. Greatest post season of my life. Never forget it.
Miss having Skip play second for us but great to see him successful outside of playing
We gonna win it again this year!
I’m thinking of the 67, 68 teams.
Shoulda been a three peat. Still can’t believe the cardinals didn’t win in 2012 and 2013
They were robbed in 13
Chris Carpenter is the ultimate player that makes it amazing. He is money when it comes to postseason
That's awesome

Motte’s beard is legitness
Don't mind me, just a Rangers fan stopping by to relive this nightmare.
On 8:59, they messed up by spelling Rafael Furcal’s first name wrong
Jon Jay?
He was in the first truck

David Freeze as the 2011 World Series MVP was awarded a Chevy Corvette. Does anybody have any idea of what ever happened to that car?
Rumor is Freese tracked down the guy who caught his walk off home run ball in game 6 and traded him the car for the ball
@@nathanaelgion2762 - ‘tis a great rumor, but why not ask Freese??
In 2012 I ran into David and his gf in the Sports Authority parking lot off 40/64 in Brentwood and he was definitely driving a nice car but it wasn’t that Chevy haha
I feel like we forgot someone
Pujols and lance lynn
Bergman? Craig??
Berkman and Craig were both there
Referring to Pujols mostly, also no Ryan Theriot.
The boys are on a 14 win streak. This was a dual purpose event. It was to commentate that great team, and light a fire under the current team’s ass. Let go RedBirds!!!

They Forgot Ryan Theriot Who Was A Part Of The Championship Built Roster.
When they showed Yadi instead of Adam that kinda hurt

Lol...a bitter rangers fan ...
I almost felt sorry for you guys but naaaaa 😆😆
Boo hoo, obviously they weren't the better team, history books says it all. There were several missed calls by the umps against both teams.
Holy fuck at all the grey hairs
Why wasn’t Pujols there?
Busy. Same with Lynn...
All those dislikes were Rangers fans, but I'm still glad they did not win that series! Go Cards! lol xd!
Imagine what will happen if they show up for a ticker tape parade should the Cardinals win it all this postseason
if Only!!! Nelson Cruz....:(((((((
